TL;DR
This work develops a comprehensive theory for Besov-type and Triebel--Lizorkin-type spaces with matrix $A_{p,\infty}$ weights, extending the classical scalar $A_{\infty}$ framework to the matrix setting. It introduces inhomogeneous matrix-weighted spaces via averaging constructions, provides $\varphi$-transform characterizations, and proves molecular, wavelet, and Calderón--Zygmund-type decompositions under the $A_{p,\infty}$ regime. A key advancement is handling the lack of Fefferman--Stein inequalities in the matrix $A_{p,\infty}$ setting by leveraging averaging spaces and discrete Calderón reproducing formulae, enabling boundedness results for almost diagonal operators, trace and extension operators, and pointwise multipliers. The results include unweighted and scalar-weighted cases as special instances and offer sharp bounds that reflect the underlying $A_{p,\infty}$-dimensions, providing a robust framework for analysis of matrix-weighted function spaces with broad potential applications in harmonic analysis and PDEs.
Abstract
Introduced by A. Volberg, matrix $A_{p,\infty}$ weights provide a suitable generalization of Muckenhoupt $A_\infty$ weights from the classical theory. In our previous work, we established new characterizations of these weights. Here, we use these results to study inhomogeneous Besov-type and Triebel--Lizorkin-type spaces with such weights. In particular, we characterize these spaces, in terms of the $\varphi$-transform, molecules, and wavelets, and obtain the boundedness of almost diagonal operators, pseudo-differential operators, trace operators, pointwise multipliers, and Calderón--Zygmund operators on these spaces. This is the first systematic study of inhomogeneous Besov--Triebel--Lizorkin-type spaces with $A_{p,\infty}$-matrix weights, but some of the results are new even when specialized to the scalar unweighted case.
